Kim Foxx holds a commanding lead with African-American voters in the race for Cook County State’s Attorney.

According to a survey of 818 likely African-American primary voters, Foxx received 59 percent of support with Cook County State’s Attorney Alvarez receiving 10 percent and former state and federal prosecutor Donna More receiving 9 percent.

Chicago police office Jason Van Dyke was not charged with McDonald’s murder for 13 months. Charges were eventually filed as dash-cam video of the incident was being made public last November.

Foxx previously served as an Assistant State’s Attorney for 12 years, some of which were served under Alvarez. More recently, she served as chief-of-staff for Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle.
